About this program.

Effective, appropriate, and up-to-date sales practices are stressed throughout this program as falling global trade barriers, quick access to comprehensive product/service data, instantaneous customer feedback/ratings, and extensive competition threaten the survival and growth of virtually all organizations regardless of size or private/public ownership. Even non-profits, government agencies, and schools are not immune to new forms of competition as customers rely more and more on digital information flows, purchasing and relationship building.

Courses in this program provide instruction by seasoned sales practitioners; “hands-on” practice and exercises, course materials that include timely technology and relevant resources, instructor feedback personalized to each student, case examples of key learning objectives, role-playing and modern practices to significantly improve present and future sales results. Importantly, this certificate includes content recommended by a world-class Advisory Board that is exceptionally skilled in face-to-face sales, TV infomercial sales, sales team management, best practice sales tools, and business owner/manager sales experiences. 

Courses in this certificate program are offered both online and in the classroom. The program can be completed 100% online.*

*All courses are scheduled to be offered online at least once per year. However, scheduling is subject to change at any time.
